Blue Snowmass, CO
Mick's Gully drops 1,721 vertical feet over 6,699 feet of skiing, with a steepest pitch of 25° about 4,750 feet below the top. That's steeper than 79% of the 5,615 blue runs we've measured in North America, and the 83rd steepest of 126 named runs at Snowmass. It faces northeast.
Facing northeast at an average 15°, Mick's Gully gets about 67% of the winter sun that flat ground at Snowmass does, December through March. That's shadier than 76% of the runs we've measured, and the 49th shadiest named run at Snowmass. Its top sits at 11,800 feet.
Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
